Holiday Movie Recommendations From Thanksgiving Through New Year's Eve

Happy Holidays

The holiday season is a time of family, food, friends, and
gifts (I ran out of f-words…). To quote
my idiot brother, “the best part of the holidays is watching movies and holding
hands under the covers.” That never
happens; he’s simply ridiculous and borderline insane. However, he does make an excellent point—holidays
are a great time for getting together and watching movies—or being alone and
watching movies, whatever floats your boat.

Holiday movies span age demographics and genres. There are so many good, bad, and terrible
ones to sort through, so I decided to make a list of recommendations, one for
each day from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. I consulted my friends about what movies to
include/exclude, and came up with a pretty wide variety, like a mixed tape of
holiday films. I have not seen all of
these movies <yet>, so if there is one that you think is awful, I will
deny ever seeing it/blame it on one of my friends—whether it’s true or not.

When you’re looking for an escape from your obnoxious
mother-in-law or creepy uncle, hunker down with your Netflix and check out
these suggested titles and know that someone else out there is feeling your
pain and crying over It’s a Wonderful
Life (and their horrible relatives) with you. Warning: not all of these are appropriate for
children and/or the elderly with pacemakers.
